CNN anchor Jake Tapper beat back questions about what he knew about former President Biden’s mental acuity before the 2024 election ahead of the release of his new book about the former president’s decline.

Tapper says he feels ‘humility’ about his coverage, but he’s defending how he handled questions about Biden’s age.

A book the CNN host co-wrote has received positive reviews and appears to be a sales hit. But it has also generated intense scrutiny of him and his work.
